3101 Laguna St, San Francisco, CA 94123

The 14-unit, 3-story apartment building at 3101 Laguna Street in Cow Hollow was built in 1964 and is currently under the ownership of Ferrando Louise Rev Tr 1999. The property has undergone significant recent renovations, particularly in 2023-2024, with multiple units receiving substantial updates including kitchen conversions, bathroom rehabilitations, and washer/dryer installations. Specific units renovated include 101, 104, 205, and 303, with work continuing in unit 204 as of November 2024.

The building has addressed several critical infrastructure elements, completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 and recently upgrading its fire alarm system in late 2023 to comply with current fire code requirements. However, the building has experienced persistent issues with moisture and mold, as evidenced by multiple tenant complaints in 2020 and 2017, particularly in unit 305. There have also been recurring fire alarm system concerns, with violations noted in 2020 and 2022, though these were subsequently corrected. The property has a documented history of plumbing and maintenance challenges, including a significant flooding incident in 2021 and complaints about old windows and heating systems in 2020.

Infrastructure improvements have included a complete electrical service replacement in early 2024 and various plumbing upgrades. The building experienced earlier issues with elevator functionality (documented in 2001) and historical roof leakage problems noted in 1998, though these appear to have been addressed based on subsequent maintenance records. Recent 311 calls indicate ongoing concerns with sewage systems, including multiple reports of backups and odors in 2024, which may suggest ongoing infrastructure challenges. While the property has had various violations and complaints over the years, the majority of recent renovation work appears focused on improving unit amenities and addressing safety requirements, particularly concerning fire safety systems.
